Yes, they should always be penultimate. Perhaps Mrs. Woffington knew this; but epilogues are stubborn things, and call-boys undeniable.' Did you ever hear a woman whistle before ?'' Never; but I saw one sit astride on an ass in Germany!'' The saddle was not on her husband, I hope, Madam ?'' No, Sir; the husband walked by his kinsfolk's side, and made the best of a bad bargain, as Peggy's husband will have to.'' Wait till some one ventures on the gay Lotharia—illi Cbs triplex; that means he must have triple brass, Kitty.'' I deny that, Sir; since his wife will always have enough for both.'' I have not observed the lady's brass,' said Vane, trembling with passion; ' but I observed her talent, and I noticed that whoever attacks her to her face, comes badly off.''Well said, Sir,' answered Quin; 'and I wish Kitty here would tell us why she hates Mrs. Woffington, the best-natured woman in the theatre ?'' I don't hate her, I don't trouble my head about her.'. ' Yes, you hate her; for you never miss a cut at her, never!'' Do you hate a haunch of venison, Quin ?' said the lady.' No ! you little unnatural monster,' replied Quin.' For all that you never miss a cut at one, so hold your tongue!'' Le beau raisonnement!' said Mr. Gib... ... Read more

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:thoroughly. From that date till 1736 ho worked incessantly, often varying his style, and always improving, till he came to ! his climax, represented in this collection by the violins 83 and 87, and the violoncello 188.He began with rather a small, short-cornered violin, which is an imitation of the small Amati, but very superior. He went on, and imitated the large Amati, but softened down the corners. For thirty years—from 1672 to 1703—he poured forth violins of this pattern ; there are several in this collection, and one tenor, 139, with a plain back but a beautiful belly, and in admirable preservation. But, while he was making these Amatise violins by the hundred, he had nevertheless his fits of originality, and put forth an anomaly every now and then; sometimes it was a very long, narrow violin with elegant drooping corners, and sometimes, in a happier mood, he combined these drooping corners with a far moro beautiful model. Of these varieties No. 86 gives just an indication ; no more. These lucid intervals never lasted long, be was back to his Amatis next week. Yet they left, I think, the germs that broke out so marvellously in the next century. About the year 1703 it seems to have struck him like a revelation that ho was a greater man than his master. Ho dropped him once and for ever, and for nearly twenty years poured forth with unceasing fertility some admirable works, of which you have three fine examples, under average wear, hard wear, and no wear—90, 92, 91. Please look at the three violins in this order to realize what I have indicated before— that time is no sure measure of events in this business. Nevertheless, in all these exquisite productions there was one thing which he thought capable of improvement—there was a slight residue of the scoop, especially at the l... ... Read more
